Niky Roberts with Purina ONE said, “The goal of what we’re doing here is trying to start a conversation about cat health. What better place to do that then over a cup of coffee with some friends in a café? We thought if people are going to be talking about cat health, you should be among your subjects and have cats all around you.”

Organizers say the Cat Café in New York is the first feline coffee spot in North America.

According to CNN, there are talks of opening a few cat coffee houses in places like California, Oregon, and Canada.
